BIOLOGY OF TOOTH ERUPTION • Definition: movement of a tooth from its site of development within the alveolar process. Research has shown that eruption of teeth continues well into the fourth and fifth decades of life albeit on a smaller scale. Theories of tooth eruption • Discounted • Newer 1. Pulpal pressure 1. Root 2. Pulpal growth elongation 3. PDL fibroblast 2. Alveolar bone traction remodeling 4. Vascular 3. Periodontal pressure ligament formation 4. Dental follicle 4 Dr Sameshima CBY 579 lecture notes 1. Root elongation theory • Basis : Not biological • Does not explain movement in three- dimensional space • Teeth without roots erupt (Dentin dysplasia Type I) • May account for eruption acceleration 5 Dr Sameshima CBY 579 lecture notes 2. Periodontal ligament theory • Basis : Fibers in PDL • Presence of PDL does not assure eruption • Osteopetrotic mutations - PDL present but no eruption • Dentinal dysplasia - no PDL but teeth erupt • Previous research was done on rodents with teeth that erupt continuously 3. Alveolar bone remodeling theory • Basis : Alveolar bone growth, tooth development and tooth eruption are closely related • Bone formation per se is not sufficient for tooth eruption (cleidocranial dysplasia) 6 Dr Sameshima CBY 579 lecture notes 4. Dental Follicle Theory • Basis : Clastic cells in DF • Eruption begins only after crown formation is complete – Clastic cells surrounding crown not activated until enamel formation is complete (Proffit) • Root formation occurs initially at the expense of basal bone without movement of the crown • Most root growth occurs during the stage of preocclusal eruption • Root completion is at the expense of basal bone • Tooth eruption and bone formation depend on the dental follicle - Marks, Cahill Cahill and Marks Famous Experiment Beagle Dog Teeth 7 Dr Sameshima CBY 579 lecture notes Nature’s Evidence that the dental follicle creates the eruption pathway From Proffit’s article Five stages of tooth eruption: 1. Preeruptive movements 2. Intraosseous eruption 3. Mucosal penetration 4. Preocclusal eruption 5. Postocclusal eruption Five stages of tooth eruption: 8 Dr Sameshima CBY 579 lecture notes Stage 1: Preeruptive movements • Random, very short movements • Cause unknown - development of dental follicle or regional growth of the jaws • Gubernacular canals - small remnants of the original invagination of oral ectoderm Stage 2: Intraosseous stage • Rate limiting step in early eruption is formation of an eruption pathway by osteoclasts - shown by Cahill in dogs • No osteoclasts - no eruption - by Sundquist 1994 • Bony deposition occurs at apical end of dental follicle • If crown is removed but not DF eruption still takes place - Marks 1985 Stage 2 continued • NO DF - no eruption • Removal of coronal half - no eruption • Removal of apical half - no eruption • Removal of crown & replacement with a metal tooth - eruption • Early experiments removed enamel epithelium • Enamel organ alone insufficient for eruption - Larson 1995 9 Dr Sameshima CBY 579 lecture notes Stage 2 continued • Fragmentation of a sialoprotein (DF-95) seems to mark the onset of preosseous eruption - Gorski 1994 • Proposed pathway: activation of proteases from the enamel organ at the completion of crown formation initiates eruption by release of metalloproteinases from the dental follicle - Marks 1996 • Root formation is a consequence not a cause of tooth eruption • Enamel organ is involved • CSF-a, EGF, TGF-B, and IL-1 are likely candidates for local molecular regulation • Bone resorption is the rate-limiting step of this stage • Orientation of follicle – differential gene expression linked to nuclear matrix – intermediate filament proteins – see Bidwell et al, Arch Oral Biology 1995. • Primate experiments - transplantation failures due to damage follicle • Root growth is usually fast enough to keep up with eruption • Marks’ summary: Primary determinant of both the direction and rate of tooth eruption is the rate of formation of the eruption pathway and its coordination with bone formation in selected areas of the crypt and alveolar bone 10 Dr Sameshima CBY 579 lecture notes Stage 3: Mucosal penetration • Enamel epithelium fuses with oral epithelium • Rate of eruption increases when cusps reach alveolar crest • Clinical signs of hypersensitivity (“teething”) during this stage are thought to be from release of enamel matrix proteins Stage 4: Preocclusal eruption • Major event: Formation of junctional epithelium- not much known about this - Marks • Rate of preocclusal eruption : 75 microns per day - Proffit 1991 using a high resolution video microscope custom made Stage 5: Eruption at the Occlusal Plane • Tooth eruption slows • Alveolar bone becomes denser around teeth (lamina dura) • Maturation/organization of fibers of periodontal ligament • Proffitt: Shrinkage of collagen fibers; also claims major factor is blood pressure from pulp (Old study showed vasodilator increasesed eruption rate) • Determinants of final positioning not known - possibly Enlow’s drift 11 Dr Sameshima CBY 579 lecture notes Ectopic Eruption Definition: Eruption occurring in an abnormal position or place - 1.2% of children in North America - Unknown causes but probably genetic - Can cause: - A) Resorption of a primary tooth other than the one it is supposed to replace or - B) Resorption of an adjacent primary or permanent tooth Over-retained teeth • Defined as a primary tooth still present when 3/4 of root of permanent successor has formed • Possibly some root of primary tooth present • Should extract if not much mobility • Also extract if major part of root present (e.g. distal of primary first or second molar) Note: If appliances are placed on primary teeth and forces applied, the primary tooth root will usually resorb – urban myth?? 12 Dr Sameshima CBY 579 lecture notes Delayed eruption • Children whose primary or permanent teeth erupt six months or later than normal, or who have asymmetric eruption, should be evaluated for abnormal dental eruption or congenitally missing teeth. • Delays in dental eruption can be familial or can occur with conditions such as: – Down syndrome – Hypothyroidism, hypopituitarism – Achondroplastic dwarfism – Osteopetrosis, rickets, or chondroectodermal dysplasia. ANKYLOSIS of primary teeth • Causes: – Genetics (inherited) – Trauma • Diagnosis: – Submergence • Shorter tooth than permanent neighbors so watch bone level – could be normal if pdl levels are the same • Serial BWXRs or PANs useful if not sure • Sound not diagnostic (see permanent teeth) • Mobility KokichAJODOJun2002MissingTeeth.pdf KurolAJODOJun2002.pdf ANKYLOSIS of primary teeth • If succedaneous tooth present: – Use as a space maintainer as long as possible – Extract when over one half of successor root formed • Why? Causes delay in eruption • If no successor: – Extract ASAP – Move teeth into space for bone – Careful extraction - potential serious periodontal problems - also if wait too long to extract KokichAJODOJun2002MissingTeeth.pdf KurolAJODOJun2002.pdf 13 Dr Sameshima CBY 579 lecture notes ANKYLOSIS of permanent teeth • Causes : Genetics or trauma - damage to PDL • Diagnosis - history, percussion • Treatment - none or extraction - subluxation rarely helps • Ectopic canines (& other impacted teeth) - occasionally ankylosed - probably iatrogenic in most cases (Becker) PERIO, ENDO, AND RESTORATIVE RESIDENTS PLEASE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS !!! 11 y.o. boy traumatic injury. Left central incisor reimplanted 12 hours later. One year after trauma – note replacement resorption 14 Dr Sameshima CBY 579 lecture notes “Decoronation “ procedure : crown is removed and tissue sutured over to cover the resorbing root The goal is to preserve periosteum across the extraction site. Alveolar bone growth will occur under a healthy periosteum. Beware of : Infraocclusion or submerged teeth • Primary dentition • Etiology unknown • Teeth are not ankylosed • Kurol - 9% of
